Athletic director Dick Baddour confirmed the visit and said the school was working with the NCAA on the probe that has centered on wide receiver Greg Little and defensive tackle Marvin Austin.

"We view this as a joint review, absolutely, that's ongoing," Baddour told the Charlotte Observer. "Their initial call to us was that we will conduct this review together, and that's what we're doing."

Both Little and Austin spoke to the NCAA last month. The investigation is looking at a party hosted in Miami and also has included players at Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina.
